Clipping, Filing. Sweating Coin.

Milling the edge of our gold and
silver coins, termed alOo .sgraining'' and
''crenating," first employed in 1916, to
prevent their being injured by wear, and
more especially by being clipped by
rogues, is q hint taken from the ancient
Syrians and Romans, who treated their
coins similarly and for like reasons, by
cutting out regular notches round the
border, SO as to show the inside of the
metal. But the old forgers were not to
be so easily beaten, and made correspond
ing incisions in their copper limitations,
plating them over with silver. Clipping,
filing and sweating coins-that is, i'm
mersing them in some strong acid that
will eat away the surface, thus causing
them to lose their weight, and conse-
quently their value-are among the clum-
sier lodges; while the plan of covering
pieces of iron, lead, copper, or other
metal, cut to the size and shape of the
coin to be initiated, with a thin plate of
gold or silver neatly stamped and soldered
at the edges, which can only be detected
by weight and sound, calls for a greater
degree of skill and manipulation. Cham

Some men say: "Well, / nave worked
hard all day long. | am tired out, Icon
fcss it, and when 1 go home ! look for
happy faces and good cheer. l don't
want to hear complaints. l want my
dinner and a quiet, comfortable time"
Well, that's all right.
| am not saying that this duty isn't in
cumbent upon women and children as
well as upon men. 1t is a universal duty,
but l do say that these men, to whom
good nature is a duty only, would find
their pleasure in it, if they continued
that duty at home.
Why should n man, Il broker, a mer-
chant, a lawyer, be jolly and full of fun
with quips and jokes and happy stories
among his companions until he reaches
his own door, Is it n mask he wears? Is
he a ~hypocrite? Does he voluntarily
torture himself by breeding discomfort
and turmoil in his own home?
Oh, nc.
The fact is, we don't think anything
about 1t.
If we did think, we would recognize
instantly the desirability of c%ultivating
the sunshiny disposition everywhere.
Good nature tells in the counting ROOM:
it certainly is most effective in a court
oonI. See how it brightens up n sick
chamber, and if wives and children have
that duty impressed upon them also, and
each makes up his or her mind to be
cheerful, to be happy of disposition, to be
courteous, to be careful with that naughty
little member, the tongue, in a very short
time the atmosphere of he most somber
household will be changed and this May
morning smell would be carried not only
through the whole day, but through the
whole year, and not only through the
channels and along the highways of bust
ness, but in the more sacred precincts of
what should be the very garden of exist
ence, the home and the household.-Joe

PuttIng Heart into Work.

Rusl,in has very finely said that mon
are not sent mo tie world to do Il II
thing into which they cannot put their
hearts. Putting heart into work means,
of course, to do work earnestly and with
IA will-heartily. 1t seems to us hat
this quality of heartiness Is what makes
all h difference between poor work and
useful work, between what is real and
true and what is hollow n superficial
in the purposes and deeds of men. To
put ones heart into anything means to
put ones self into it, and when was any
thing noble, great or useful in the
highest or the lowest degree, performed
in this world, that did not involve the
putting in of self? The famous saying
of one of the old masters, that he mixed
his paint with brains, is but another way
of expressing a great general truth, ap-
plicable to all master work, whether it 10
in painting a canvas or writing q poem,
or building q house. 1t must be done
with n mixing of brains, or with what is
the same thing, a mixing Of heart, a
mixing of self. The average man, to
say the least, il not a very strong or a
very wise or great being. Measured by
the standard Of the infinite, his noblest
endeavors seem weak and puny beyond
comparison. Measured by the standard
of natures handiwork, the results of his
skill and craftiness are insignificant.
How hen can a man do less than put
forth the best there is in him, since even
that falls far short of perfection2 And
this always and everywhere, whether the
thing to be lone calls for the exercise of
brains or hands, whether it is carving a
statue or digging a ditch. Heart, heart,
heart is what . needed for the worlds
work of every kind, for such as is called
great and such as is termed mental.
And most of all it is needed for spiritual
work, for ths saving of sinners, for the
regeneration of men. Want of heart
here means failure from the beginning,
utter failure and disaster. The sermon,
the prayer, the exhortation, the spiritual
counsel, tho teaching, that does not have
heart in it, the spirit of a sanctiied
heart, is devoid of the very thing that
carries the sermon, the e%xhortation, the
counsel to the consciences and souls of
men. Without it they are but husks,
empty, dry and worthless Christian at

LIFE IN ~ANDALUSlA.
The Sellers of charlottesville Potter and
His ~CIay-Law and Order.

The Sellers of charlottesville Potter and
His CIAy-Law and Order.
The street life in Andalusia is full Of
interest, too, The oil mana function
airy answering to our milkman in some
respects-wil be the first to awake you
with his discordant cry; then come the
sellers Of fried comestibles of different
kinds, which you arc supposed to require
as an adjunct to your morning chocolate;
Later on the vendors of vegetables, chiefly
patronized by those who find the market
too far off. 1t is very amuGing to watch
the transactions with these ''costers."
As winter approaches, various delicacies
unknown in other countries, I fancy
will make their appearance. The batata,
or sweet Malaga potatoe, candied, or sold
in n syrup made of sugar, is delicious;
turron, from Alicante Ia sweetmeat re-
sembling French nougat), ounce cheese,
and many cakes and bonbons, some of
which inspire suspicion in the mind Of
the foreigner, will be sold in enormous
quantities, for your Spaniard has a sweet
tooth.
As you pass along the narrow streets
and byways, you may notice through
some open doorway a great baking fur
mace, fed with piles of heather and rose
mary; here and there an untidy garden
with a noria, o Moorish well, whose
wheel a patient old mule Is turning; per-
haps u family sitting outside in the sun,
making the clay pots which play SO large
a part in the arrangement of the cuisine
here, the said pots being dried in the open
air; indeed, you may light on some very
remarkable interiors if you are curious in
that way, and will take the trouble to
seek them out. The Last sound at night
is usually the "sereno," or watchman,
calling out the hour and the state of the
weather as he PAGES up and down in 81
lence. whistling occasionally TO his fell
lows to keep up communication of some
sort with them.
When it is cold they light fires at the
street corners n look uncommonly pic
turesque as they lounge about in their
great cloaks and three cornered hats;
they do wonders in the way of keeping
order among this lawless people, who
draw u their long knife ~(navaja) on the
slightest ~provocation, and do such deadly
work with it. Even the country roads
to q reasonable distance-are now pretty
safe; you will hardly meet with anything
more unpleasant than a beggar or two,
hungry, lean dogs, or long lines of mules
with a palm leaf carefully cut in relief
on their sides and necks, gayly decked
out with t~assels, fringes and bells, ridden
by picturesque looking brigands sitting
sideways, got up in crimson sasbes, very
white stockings, sandals and remarkable
hats, who will courteously offer you
some of their breakfast or dinner, if they
happen to be eating it, and will expect
you to reply-in the negative.-Cor.

The New York Herald prints a form.
liable list of the theatres destroyed by
fire during the present century. No less
h 115 have been burned since 1903 in
the United States alone. The record
abroad is about equally disastrous. In
cases Of the destruction of theatres by fire
accompanied with loss of life the number
OF victims is generally very large. For
instance, at the b6rning of the Ring
Theatre in Vienna between 800 and 900
lives were lost. AT Lehman's Theatre,
st. Petersburg, burned in 1896, between
800 and 700 persons were sacrificed. With
the destruction. of the Carlsruhe Theatre
in 1947 over 200 victims suffered. One
hundred victims persisted in a theatre in
India, 10 in Japan, 81 at Nice and AT at
Dervio, Italy.-Public Opinion.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of scrofula
Cured by
Hoods S~arsapariIIa


In the winter Of 1879 1 was attacked with
scrofula in one OF the most aggravating forms.
At one time 1 had no less than thirteen large
assesses over n around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years OF misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation OF W. ].
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, 1 was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses nave all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less I do not know what It may
have done Tor others, but i do know that In
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence OF
my. gratitude 1 send these facts unsolicited,
and L am ready to verify the authenticity OF
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement Is confirmed by W. j. Hunt

cure a great victory for Hoods ~Sarsaparilla.
